Stoli's Parent Company Adds Gays To Non-Discrimination Policy

Amidst criticism that Stoli Vodka simply stating their support for the LGBT community isn't enough, Stoli's parent company SPI group has approved a change to the company's non-discrimination policy so that it will now protect gays and lesbians. The policy now reads:

We think this is a good step, but we doubt it will temper the anger of those that feel Stoli isn't putting enough pressure on the Russian government.

This is so DUMB. It's like who's the idiot that came up with this "punish the Latvian workers" campaign. IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! Who are we hurting with this boycott? Certainly NOT Vladamir Putin or anyone in his regime for that matter, they could care less. If we want to get serious about this we should put pressure on our elected officials here/UK/France etc to revoke the travel visas to Russian Ambassadors, THAT is something they'd care about. .

"The problem with the North American boycott, known on Twitter as the #dumpstoli campaign, is that the vodka is distilled in Latvia and owned by a Luxembourg company controlled by a Russian billionaire driven into exile for his opposition to just the kind of official prejudice exhibited in the new law targeting gays."
